Uzbekistan presented seven major infrastructure projects worth more than $15 billion in total to international investors at the Paris Infraweek 2026 forum in Paris, the Dunyo information agency reported.

The projects include transport and urban infrastructure initiatives in New Tashkent. They were part of Uzbekistan’s push to modernize its transport system and attract private investment.

Participants showed particular interest in infrastructure and urban development projects planned in Uzbekistan’s provinces and in New Tashkent, the agency said.

Discussions covered attracting foreign capital, widening private-sector participation and using public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms. They also addressed project financing, the allocation of investment and operational risks, and the implementation of concession mechanisms.

Uzbekistan’s delegation included staff from the Public-Private Partnership Development Agency under the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Transport and the country’s embassy in France.

The delegation held bilateral business-to-government meetings with Proparco, Rothschild & Co., the French Development Agency, Bpifrance, Meridian, the World Bank and other international organizations and potential investors. Talks covered prospective transport projects in New Tashkent, financing and ways to build international cooperation on delivery.

The forum, focused on PPPs and investment opportunities in Central Asian transport, was organized by France’s Expertise France agency and the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer. Government bodies from Central Asian countries, international financial institutions, investment funds and major infrastructure companies took part.

Paris Infraweek 2026 ran Nov. 2-6 in Paris. Now in its tenth year, the event brings together government bodies, international financial institutions, banks, investment funds and infrastructure companies to expand cooperation in transport, energy and other strategic sectors.
